  • The movies began release on VHS in 1980 in the United States, with the release of the original theatrical cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture and the film's Special Longer Version, also known as the 1983 TV Version. Both versions were released in pan-and-scan format. Copies of the "Special Longer Version" in pan-and-scan are more common than the original theatrical version of the film, which has only been widely available since the 1991 widescreen release. The price for the first three movies at the times of their release in 1980, 1982, and 1985, respectively, averaged out at a price of US$79.95 each with Star Trek III: The Search for Spock initially released at US$29.95. In 1986, the films were lowered to US$29.95 each, and eventually lowered down to US$14.95 by the early 1990s. Throughout the 1980s, each Star Trek film was reissued on VHS numerous times, normally accompanying the VHS release of a newer film, and using the same packaging design. An exception came in 1987 when Paramount released signature editions of several of its films, among them Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The first VHS release of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, in the summer of 1987 , also featured a promotional ad for the premiere of Star Trek: The Next Generation. In 1991 , the first five films were released for the first time in a new 25th Anniversary set where the spines form a picture of the Enterprise. In addition, the films were released in widescreen format for the first time. Both sets were reissued in 1992 with the VHS release of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, using similar packaging design to match with the first five films. Also in 1992, a special "Director's Series" of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was released on VHS featuring an introduction by Leonard Nimoy, and the widescreen release of the film was released on VHS. Nimoy's introduction was included on the original DVD release of the film, but was not included in the 2003 Special Edition of the film. The VHS release of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country also added scenes not seen in the original theatrical version. The original theatrical version was never released on VHS. The final VHS release from the first six movies was a widescreen release of The Director's Edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 2001 .
